Getting Up Early Days 6-8
Days 6 and 7
Evenings are difficult right now. I've started to wilt at 8:45 with super huge yawns. That's actually annoying when I'm trying to listen to people ramble talk.
Okay, people were actually saying really good things but my mind was starting to wander vicariously into dream-state--the jaw cracking yawns would wake me out of it.
I'm hoping this is as hard as this gets for forcing my body onto a new schedule. It is kinda funny though. My mind and body quietly nudge me and tell me it's time to go to sleep. Then they keep getting more insistent until I can't think straight. Then something clicks and I'm wide awake and completely cognizant of what's happening around me and decision making ability returns.
Very interesting.
Day 8
Wow, talk about just being generally tired. I hoping that this passes soon and my energy levels start picking back up. I have lots of things I'd like to try with this new found time in the morning. Like getting a workout in before work (I've heard it's phenomenal for the energy levels throughout the day.) And I'd like to start breaking some bad habits like soda and caffeine dependency.
On a side note I think I've figured out what was waking me up in the middle of the night. My phone alerts me whenever a message gets posted to my gmail account. I think the little buzz and ring has been waking me up and I just didn't realize it. The interesting part about that is when even this little tiny alarm goes off I'm awake and ready for action--it takes me about half an hour to get back to sleep. I'll have to start turning my phone to Phone Only mode before I go to bed.
